GDT 10-4 THE NIGHT THE KILLER FOLTY UNLEASHES HELL ON CALIFORNIA

[bravesnumberone]

I'M JUST TIRED OF GIVING UP GODDAMN HITS TO PITCHERS.

 

[Julio3000]

Dang it, I’m trying to forget about him

Yeah, sorry about that. He’s indelibly linked with postseason fail for me. His game 5 meltdown against Houston in 04 marked the only time I’ve ever left a Braves game before the last out in 30-odd years of attendance.

 

[jsebe10]

Damn almost got Joc in the face. Too bad.

 

[UNCBlue012]

The most Braves thing ever would be to lose tonight and destroy Kershaw.

 

[Enscheff]

Wait a second....

Did Snit really just give away a postseason PA by allowing Folty to hit and not go back out to pitch?

 

[UNCBlue012]

Dude just said Atlanter.

Huh. I was there, and I left early too.

Farnsworth in ‘05 was worse though.

You know it’s going to happen.

To be fair, folty is as good a hitter as most of our bench players

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Should've had Walt Weiss pinch hit.

 

[Garmel]

Yep. Just crazy.

Other than pinch hitting Teheran, I wouldn’t waste our only viable bench bat (Duda) in that situation.

I don’t get it either but not sure who the right guy would have been.

 

[nsacpi]

pitchers spot up 5th...get a couple runners on and pinch hit Suzuki

 

[nsacpi]

I don’t get it either but not sure who the right guy would have been.

I would have saved Suzuki and Duda...Flaherty probably was the right guy since no one was on base

 

[DirkPiggler]

Snit was saving Flaherty to make a much more dramatic out in a key situation.

 

[Southcack77]

Other than pinch hitting Teheran, I wouldn’t waste one of our two viable bench bats in that situation.

Getting a runner on in front of the heart of the order wouldn’t have been useful?

Seems like anything that increased the chance of that would have been worthwhile, even if you held Duda and Suzuki.

 

[jsebe10]

Only other disappointing thing about this game is having to look at Flowers.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Jesus, Flowers. Dude is consistently looking at strikes.

Ryu has given up one hit at 5...,no one is getting another hit off this dink.
